Meriden House Authority Looking to Acquire 16 Parcels

The Meriden Housing Authority is beginning an ambitious project which includes acquiring 16 properties in the city for a total of $2.2 million, the Meriden Record Journal reports.

All of the properties are single family homes and will be acquired through negotiation or eminent domain, the paper reports.

The properties are needed for two developments. The first includes the redevelopment and full renovation of the 163-unit Yale Acres housing development and then the creation of a 50-unit West Main Street housing development, reporter Dan Brechlin writes.

That project includes a 400-seat theater.
